(Jenni) RED ROSES!

This wasn't what I was going to post, but I was so surprised this morning with these beautiful "RED" roses that I just had to post them. The longer I am married to my big guy, the more romantic he gets. He even left me a little love note. I am one spoiled girl!

(Sarah) February is for Red

So the challenge was to find something red. I choose red laundry on a red table :) Having a lot of girls in the house means lots of red and pink clothes.

(Kailee, Sally) Happy Birthday!

Dirt and Water =Mud Cake!

I couldn't help but picture playing with DeeDee as a child as I watched Kailee and Sally. We played in the mud all the time. I think that's why Dee loves to farm and I love to cook. Kailee was busy making a birthday cake for Sally. She went around the house and got flowers and made a cake press. Sally is always asking if today is a party. Well, she got her very own party today!

(Jenni, Kailee, Sally) Girls Doin Hair

I had to go to the post office and left Kailee in charge. When I came back, I about fell over laughing. Kailee had Sally up on a chair and she was standing on the step stool doing her hair. The crazy thing was Sally was actually letting her do it. I had to go back to the post office because I had forgotten something... all to once again return to a lovely surprise! They were in costume ready to dance. These girls are so funny! These are the little things in life that make me happy.

(Jenni) A Fun Spring Day

The kids had to go to the dentist at 10:30. I thought I would just keep Carl out of school and go on a picnic. The kids both got their check ups with no problems. Then we went to Burger King to get lunch and take to the park. The kids had so much fun. Carl loves his little sister so much and wanted to show her everything. It was so cute. Sally laughed and smiled like never before. We played for two hours. I just enjoyed watching the two of them play together. I love them so much!

(Sarah) Little things

On Mondays we take the time as a family and make a treat. Sometimes cookies and sometimes brownies. This week we made a chocolate chip walnut cake. Just look at Rebekah's face!

(Jenni) The Little Things

Thursday was a fun day for me and Sal. It was warm outside and we both wanted to get a little sunshine. I was able to enjoy not having any homework and could read what I wanted to read and not a boring old text book. This was a day free of any worries; just a day to be Sally's mom and listen to the birds sing.I loved watching Sally explore everything. I wondered just what she was thinking as she looked at every rock, weed, and so on. I love this picture because it reminds me that you need to stop and look at the little things in life.

Mother's Day

For a long time Thayne has always bought me a Mother's Day flower to wear to church. This morning when I woke up, I said, well what color is my flower so I know what to wear today. The house went silent. Thayne looked like he was going to die..........HE FORGOT!!! He was feeling bad about it................so he asked what he could bring me for breakfast. I told him toast and milk.
Church was kind of sad............it was the last time Carl would be singing with the primary for Mother's Day. I watched him and I couldn't be more proud of my little man. For the past eleven years, I have loved being a mother and my kids are everything to me.
When I got home from church, Carl was hiding around the corner. He was so excited and had the biggest smile on his face. He was holding the prettiest spring flowers and said, "Happy Mother's Day Mom!" My heart melted.
Come to find out, Carl's primary teacher had asked Carl what he was going to do for me. Carl told her he wished he had some flowers to go in my vase that he gave me last year. Next thing he knew Brother Crockett came and got him. They went to his house and Brother Crockett helped Carl cut flowers from his yard. I love the people in Declo.
